VINELAND – ComTec Systems Inc., a Vineland-based telecommunications and IT firm, participated in the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s MuckFest MS Philadelphia race on May 31 in an effort to raise money and awareness for the fight against multiple sclerosis.

The company entered a team consisting of staff, family and friends.

“This was a great day for a great reason,” said CEO Mike Vertolli, who participated in the race. “MS hits close to home for many of our employees, and it was wonderful for our company to be able to come together to contribute to such a great cause.”

The MuckFest MS race is a 5K course with more than 20 different obstacles, including mud pits, craters and tunnels and more.

“This was a challenging course, but we all had a great time,” ComTec’s team captain, Jason Manno, said. “It was awesome to be able to help each other through the obstacles as a team. It was a really fun day.”
